Everything you ever wanted to know about the ksh.
Even with the emergence of newer shells, the ksh is still the shell of choice in many systems. This book will carry you much farther than the man page is designed for. There are practical examples and the commands are laid out clearly with all the options. Everything from what is a shell to parameter expansions and attributes is explained. There is even a section on optimizing the environment.
If you already have a copy, be sure to purchase the next revision, as this is a living shell and as it evolves, new revisions are sure to be printed.
